Still doesn't help. I want to move the files currently in my dropbox to my passport (hard drive) to clear the dropbox of all files. The only option I seem to have is to buy more space. I cannot MOVE any files right now. Please help!

If you do have the desktop app installed on your computer note that your Dropbox folder is just a normal folder on your hard drive. Therefore, if you drag and drop files into the Dropbox folder, those files will be moved instead of copied.

It's common to assume Dropbox works like a network drive because of its many online features. However, your Dropbox folder is actually a normal folder and its contents are stored on your hard drive. The Dropbox application only watches your Dropbox folder for changes and syncs those changes online and to your other computers. One of the benefits of this way of syncing is always having access to your files, even while you are offline.
